यदहंकारमाश्रित्य न योत्स्य इति मन्यसे | मिथ्यैष व्यवसायस्ते प्रकृतिस्त्वां नियोक्ष्यति
yadahaṃkāramāśritya na yotsya iti manyase . mithyaiṣa vyavasāyaste prakṛtistvāṃ niyokṣyati
若你依恃「我慢」(ahaṃkāra)而心想「我將不戰」,你的此等決心是徒勞的。你的「自性」(prakṛti)將會驅使你(去戰鬥)!
That you think 'I shall not fight', by relying on egotism,-vain is this determination of yours. (Your) nature impel you!
阿周那因「我慢」而決定不戰,但奎師那指出,這種決心是虛妄的。作為一個剎帝利(戰士),阿周那的內在「自性」將會迫使他履行其天職,最終仍會投入戰鬥。
This strong determination of thy mind will be rendered utterly futile by thy inner nature thy nature will constrain thee thy nature as a warrior will compel thee to fight. It is a mere illusion to say that thou art Arjuna? that these are thy relatives and that to kill them will be a sin.
